The princess is soft! The sick villain is crazy

Chapter 134 Coquettish

Author: Raising cats every year

Facing Zheng Lian's calm and cold gaze, the Minister of Rites and three colleagues stepped into the palace gate with trepidation.

Among the six departments, the presence of the Ministry of Rites is not strong. It is far less direct than the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Husbandry, which directly communicate with Emperor Yong. Most of the time, things are done in accordance with the etiquette system left by the ancestors. The three departments of the Ministry of Rites are responsible for presiding over the imperial examinations.

This is the biggest project I have taken on this year.

Watching the four people enter the palace, Zheng Lian smiled with unknown meaning, "Are you the Marquis of Du Yu who was personally appointed by His Majesty?"

Since Zhang Sheng, the commander of the front department of the palace, was dismissed from his post, Emperor Yong never appointed a new commander. These few are all in waiting, acting like deputy envoys, especially this Li Mingji - who has actually been with the front department of the palace.

The status of commander and envoy is the same.

Look, a fifth-rank official who has been in the court for less than a year has dared to challenge him, the prime minister.

It can be seen that because of his preference for Princess Huaxi, Emperor Yong treated Lord Li very kindly, which gave Li Mingji the confidence to stand here.

It was really a good dog raised by Emperor Yong.

Li Mingji lowered his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Master Zheng."

"Master Li, you're welcome," Zheng Lian smiled, "Since Your Majesty doesn't want to see me, I'll just wait here for Your Majesty to come out. I'll excuse you, Master Li, to stay here."

He said it casually, but there was a hint of contempt and obvious irony in his words.

A sarcastic smile flashed across Li Mingji's eyes. At that time, when Xiao Sui entered the capital, the aristocratic families were in a great fight. The Xie family was the first to flee. The mansion was burned down by the angry people. The Cui family and the Zheng family were also hit hard.

Therefore, three years later, without any resistance from the aristocratic family, Emperor Yong was able to quickly recruit troops and make a comeback.

There was no need for him to explain the truth that water can carry or capsize a boat. Li Mingji would no longer be affected by these words.

He calmly said yes, but saw a gorgeous chariot in the distance. Although the chariot looked unfamiliar, it was not difficult to tell who it belonged to.

Unsurprisingly, the little princess was helped out of the chariot by her personal maid. She was wearing a dogwood pink dress today, and she was surrounded by more than a dozen palace attendants, who looked very grand.

Shu Yao looked around, and when she saw Li Mingji, she raised her eyes. However, when she saw Zheng Lian standing opposite him, her eyes drooped again.

Shu Yao did not forget her uncle's birthday party last year. Zheng Lian took the lead in condemning her and questioned her for occupying Li Mingji's paintings.

Among the founding veterans, if Xie Yanzhou's grandfather Xie Hong was said to have a bad temper, then Mr. Zheng was truly hypocritical. Shu Yao had never seen such a hypocritical person as Zheng Lian, who always acted for her own good.

name, he actually didn't take her seriously at all.

Apart from being displeased, she felt a little bit lucky in her heart. Fortunately, she arrived in time, otherwise Li Mingji would have been bullied by Zheng Lian. Looking at this battle, did Zheng Lian want to give Li Mingji a blow?

Shu Yao stood in front of the honor guard, raised her eyes and smiled: "It's so lively here, what is Uncle Zheng doing?"

What does a young lady know about court affairs? Zheng Lian didn't even bother to explain to Shu Yao, and pretended to smile kindly, "Princess, I have important matters to discuss with Your Majesty, so I am here to see you."

If the little princess was more sensible, she should take the initiative to take them in. He has long been dissatisfied with the privileges that Emperor Yong gave to Shu Yao. She is not even a princess. How can she enter and leave the palace freely? On the contrary, they want to see Emperor Yong.

The courtiers were stopped outside the door. This is not in line with the rules at all!

Shu Yao said "Oh" and blinked her clear eyes, as if she didn't understand Zheng Lian's hint at all, "Uncle Zheng, why are you more ignorant than this princess? My uncle is presiding over the palace examination today and no one is there. Why?"

I have time to discuss something important with you? No wonder Li Mingji wants to stop you."

She was naive and outspoken, and made Zheng Lian extremely embarrassed. He had not experienced such intimidation for a long time. If he had known that this little princess was so troublesome, he should have sent her out of the palace back then!

Zheng Lian said steadily: "Princess, there are some important things that cannot be rushed. If you rush, it will lead to catastrophe. This is the truth in the court, and I can't explain it to you."

Shu Yao asked back: "Since it's an important matter, why doesn't uncle see you?"

She lengthened her tone and said slowly, "Isn't it because he doesn't want to see me?"

Zheng Lian had never been humiliated so directly. His face turned livid and he looked angrily at the little princess who spoke so freely in front of him.

He couldn't keep it, he thought, he couldn't allow this little princess to continue to be so arrogant.

"Princess, be careful what you say."

Shu Yao didn't want to deal with him, so she stuck out her tongue and winked at the maid behind her.

Chun Rui and Pine Needles looked at each other. Chun Rui opened the curtain of the chariot and actually moved a couch down from it. She also spread the cushions with pine needles and brought out a table, melons and fruit snacks, and placed them all on the table.

"Princess, please take a seat."

Shu Yao hummed, sat down on the couch elegantly, and twisted a piece of pastry. "It just so happens that I have something to ask my uncle for. Since my uncle is nowhere to be seen, I will wait here with everyone."

She told everyone clearly that she, the most favored princess, had listened to Emperor Yong's words and was waiting for him at the door. What other reason did these courtiers have to make a fuss about entering the palace?

But while she was waiting, she had cushions to sit on and food to eat. Unlike these ministers, some of them hurried over without even using their breakfast. They stood with an empty belly. When they saw the little princess eating snacks, her stomach grumbled unsatisfactorily.

"A sound.

Zheng Lian's face turned even worse.

The little princess became coquettish and not polite at all. What's more, she did this to protect him.

A barely visible smile flashed across Li Mingji's eyes, and he said warmly: "Thank you for the shirt."

…

Inside Chengqian Hall, there was complete silence.

The imperial pressure came towards him, and Pan Lingze couldn't stand still. He knelt on the ground with a thud, his face pale.

"Grass people, grass people..."

Zhou Rong on the side said calmly: "The Cao Min doesn't know why it is similar to Pan Lang's policy. What the Cao Min said comes from the heart. The Cao Min once wrote "On Origin" and sent it to a friend. The original manuscript is in the hands of the friend. The Cao Min would like to send a letter

, holding the original manuscript and arguing with Pan Lang."

"No need."

Emperor Yong smiled faintly, and Yin Fu next to him winked at the chamberlain, and promptly showed Pan Lingze's test paper.

Zhou Rong walked a few steps, his face becoming more and more solidified. After seeing the signature of "Pan Lingze", he finally understood why he was not listed on the list.

He lifted up his robe and knelt in front of Emperor Yong: "This policy article was written by me personally and was definitely not written by Pan Lingze! The common people can tell the sources of all the quotations in the policy article, and I ask for your Majesty's enlightenment!"

Emperor Yong's expression remained calm: "Pan Lingze, is there anything else you want to say?"

Click, click.

Big beads of sweat seeped out from the tip of Pan Lingze's nose and dripped down his chin to the ground.

"It seems that Pan Lingze no longer knows how to defend himself," Emperor Yong said, "Then let's let someone else do it. Please invite the Minister of Rites and the three magistrates to come in."
